How do I contact the shelter about Collie-Flower?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Cardiff handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Collie-Flower on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Collie-Flower if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Cardiff will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Collie-Flower already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Collie-Flower isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Cardiff early rather than rehoming privately; they know Collie-Flower and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Collie-Flower

Border Collie · Male · Young · 1 year

Collie-Flower still has a bit of learning to do, as he finds the big wide world and the things within it quite spooky. He will find home life quite new, so will likely need some support with house-training and spending time on his own. Collie-Flower is looking for a quieter home where there isn't too much coming and going, as he wouldn't love having too many unknown people coming in and out of the home at first. Collie-Flower would thrive in a rural home with his own garden, where he can come out of his shell at his own time. He would love committed owners that can offer him what he needs in terms of stimulating enrichment and exercise, as well as some training needs. Collie-Flower has huge potential to be a wonderful companion, but will need a gentle and patient hand to help him through. We can't wait to see this gorgeous lad in his forever home. Meet this gorgeous boy, Collie-Flower! Collie-Flower is a 1-year old Collie X, looking for his forever home. Collie-Flower is looking to be the only dog in the home, as he can find seeing dogs out and about quite frustrating. He would prefer a quieter, more rural environment where he won't see too many dogs out and about while he builds his confidence, but would like to make calm walking friends. Collie-Flower is looking for everyone in the home to be adults only, as he is spooked meeting new people and can be quite vocal. He is quite typical of his Collie breed, so would really benefit from owners that are familiar with the breed and open to working on confidence and reactivity. Once he knows you, Collie-Flower is a sweetheart and loves a fuss. He does need to build trust before he is comfortable, but he is getting braver day by day. Collie-Flower was a stray prior to coming to us, so we don't have a huge amount of history. He is a worried and skittish boy, so will need gentle and calm owners that can give him the stability he has lacked in his early life. He is very active and energetic, so would love an active home where he can get out his energy and sniff all his surroundings. He can pull on lead, so will need a bit of support on this but he is very receptive to training as he loves his food and his toys! He will be a really rewarding companion for the right family, and we can't wait to see him thriving.

About Collie-Flower

What life with Collie-Flower looks like

Collie-Flower is a extra-large young adult border collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
